You do not "need" to do anything with the managed switch. It will work as a switch. Managed just allows you to do remote management
My gut is that folks interested in something with 8 ports normally have a reason for needing a switch that big (they aren't just plugging in a single machine) and the extra flexibility the smart switch has comes in handy. I jumped on the $10 tp-link smart switch a few days ago (5 ports) which is another solid option. That netgear for $25 is a solid option for a name brand.

Just stay away from the Netgear switches that are housed in white plastic. I have had a 100% failure rate on the several I bought back in the day.

ChatGPT told me it was better than this Netgear 308, meant for enterprise vs consumer, more reliable, but the same in terms of capabilities. But it's the first time I've ever bought a switch. Also, not sure which brand has better support. What are your thoughts?
